Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day!

To all of you who are here for the Giveaway Day - Welcome!!

If you're new here feel free to poke about. My favorite things are tiny piecing, precision foundation paper piecing, dense free motion quilting, and pouch making! You can see my finished quilts in the tabs at the top of the page, sorted by year. My pouches are here.

I sell these pouches on an order by order basis (no etsy shop yet), so if you love them just contact me!

Now for the giveaway!

I'm offering one medium boxed pouch made out of your favorite color of sparkle vinyl (chosen from my vinyl stash). The medium boxed pouch measures 7" x 3" x 3" and it is great for storing sewing notions, make up, or really anything.

To enter the giveaway leave a comment below telling me what you'd put in this pouch (you can make up anything- really, amuse me).

The giveaway will be open until Friday 12/12, and the winner will be chosen by mr random.org, and notified by 12/12. USA shipping only please.

I think I should take a stroll down Autumn Lane . (It's my favorite season even though SE Texas doesn't really celebrate Autumn with all it's pine trees) So to continue, I'd pick up some red, orange, yellow and green leaves to stash in my little stash pouch. I could open it up in the winter (yes, just rain here then) and savor all the wonderful colors. I might be inspired by the colors and create a beautiful quilt. AH HA I could call it my 'Inspiration Pouch"

I'd probaly put my basics in it. Hair brush, a couple of hair bows, post it notes, tweezers, nail clippers, etc. I'm trying to have the house looking neater, so these things are in a drawer and they're getting lost with my clothes.

Other options, first aid kit complete with character band-aids (I'm a mamma, lol), craft supplies, mamma things, if I'm not careful to put something of mine in it right away perhaps even barbie shoes or toy cars, lol. In all honesty though it would be the first option, I've even decluttering enough things that I have the perfect spot for it in one of my drawers. This would make getting ready and tidying up a breeze! It would also be very practical to keep newborn essentials at hand and organized should the need ever arise again (which probally won't happen, but hey a girl can dream).

Well, considering that we know that I have plenty of vinyl to make my own pouches, if I win, I will tell you to choose someone else (and then you can just give me dimensions for that little flat pouch I was eyeing up yesterday)! Your pouches really are awesome, though, and I really admire the way you are putting yourself out there and selling a bunch!

I love having a pouch to keep all my lovely things you like like pads and tampons and chapstick in so my kids aren't whipping them out in the middle of church or in the grocery store! And it's glittery!

Well, I measured my crochet hook and that would fit.....so I could use it as storage for my doily making thread. I bet it would look much more appealing than the plastic bag I have been toting it around it. LOL

My needle tatting needles are too long....but that could get me inspired to figure out shuttle tatting!

Oh wait, I know.....I could finally get on the hexie bandwagon and use the pouch for a travel hexie factory!

If I won a pouch I'd choose a burgundy one and give it to my best friend :) I couldn't possibly keep it since my other best friend gave me a pouch a couple of years ago and I would feel like I'm cheating on her :D

I LOOOOOOVe the sparkles!!! I have pinned this on my wish list for Christmas!! or my birthday! gorgeous!! what would I put in it? snacks for in my sewing room so they would be hidden and the m&m stealing monsters (ie: my children) wouldn't be able to find them!! It would also make a smashing tampon/pad holder for the back of my toilet making that time of the month so much more endureable and then my kids wouldn't always be asking "what are those things on the back of your toilet for mom?" even though they are NOT supposed to use OUR bathroom since they have their OWN! yes

Why do my pouches never turn out at pretty and amazing as ones you make? Yours are amazing! I would never have thought using vinyl! I get two nights free lodging at a nice casino/hotel in Las vegas 4 times a year (and we all know lodging is half the total cost of a vacation!) and I go all four times even if I don't have money to play slots, so I wander the streets (that doesn't sound good!) and look at people, places and things! I'd keep my travel toiletries in this pouch as is big enough to hold everything...all in one place and nice on the bathroom counter at the hotel! Thanks for the giveaway!

OK, I know exactly what I'd put in the pouch. I study Japanese Tea Ceremony and we are required to have several things on hand - sweets picks (bamboo), kleenex, handkerchief, papers for sweets, my silk cloth for purification, etc. etc. All of that into this lovely bag! Thank you for your generosity.

Since you said it was ok to make up stuff, I say a 200,00 dollar check to pay off all our bills, some good mascara that doesn't clump, and a matchbook with an autograph from JFK :) Thanks for the awesome giveaway ! Heather@thewilliscrew.org

I would give this to a friend of mine who LOVES jewlery; she'd probably use it to bring her big earrings places when she travels. :) Right now she wraps them in toilet paper in a baggie. :) sarah@forrussia.org

What a great little bag. I would probably use it for my makeup - I tried to make myself a makeup bag before but I'm terrible with zippers so it eventually got torn out (I may have been a tad upset about it). now my makeup is just laid out all around the bathroom sink. oops :)

I have to confess this one I am entering for my daughter. She loves Purple, she loves sparkles and she loves to create so I would love a little bag for her to keep "projects" and "treasures" in. Your pouches are beautiful.

Oh I'm not even a sparkle kind of girl but those sparkle bags are aMAZing! Like old bowling alley seats. So cool. If I win, I would keep all my pens and pencils and mints in it in my backpack that I carry around all day at school. I keep everything in my backpack so my coworkers can't steal (erm - borrow) all my gel pens and sharpies and mechanical pencils with the twistable erasers. I admit, I am an office supply store nerd. I do share the mints, though!

Welll...if a pouch came to my house, my daughter would probably snag it and then she would put barbies inside or may cookies and juice, you never know with this kid, she loves putting things inside of things and she has a lot of bags.

yahoo! lucky #100!!! id love to fill this with a couple gift certificates for my niece for her Christmas present...oh, she asked for gc from starbucks and forever 21...whatever happened to her long list of Barbies???

I would use it for my toiletries travel bag (I travel for work A LOT). I made one from laminated cotton, lined with PUL but it was a FAIL. Something leaked, and while my clothes were protected, the (AMH) laminated cotton fabric print was RUINED. :(

my husband always steals my little bags for coins, I like to use some for doggie treats, or my floss when I take a project to work on when I am getting my treatment at the chemo center... so boring just sitting there for hours... so I like to take small projects to work on.

I'm a twenty-something mom who loves to sew and read. I've been sewing for about fifteen years, and fell in love with quilting after my daughter was born.
I love to design quilts, and enjoy the challenge of working with teeny tiny pieces. Zip pouches, paper piecing, and flickr swaps are some of my favorite things.
